In World War II, American social scientists studying the Japanese character reacted to Japanese ultranationalism and the behavior of Japanese soldiers, and portrayed the Japanese as the opposite and inferior of the West. After the war, American interest in national character studies declined, but flourished in Japan and, influenced by the holistic methodology of cultural anthropology, evolved into nihonjinron. In the United States, knowledge of the Japanese character became urgent again during the trade conflict of the 1980s. This time, American social scientists reacted to nihonjinron and Japanese business behavior. Essentialism and the characterization of Japanese as categorically different and unknowable had fallen from favor in America, and American scholars dismissed nihonjinron as intellectually unsound and unrepresentative of the Japanese. The historical origins of nihonjinron in postwar national character studies, and the resonance of these studies with the experience of postwar Japanese remain unexamined by Western scholars.
